Today is World Autism Awareness Day. ♾️ ✨

At Comprehensive Therapy Center, we are proud to join the global community in celebrating the 2026 theme: "Autism and Humanity – Every Life Has Value." For us, today is about more than just a date on the calendar. It’s about affirming the inherent dignity, unique strengths, and infinite potential of every individual we serve in Grand Rapids. Whether through speech, motor skills, or social-emotional growth, we believe that when we embrace neurodiversity, our entire community thrives.

Help us celebrate! Drop a "✨" in the comments to show your support for autism acceptance and inclusion today.

April is Occupational Therapy Month, and we are so proud to shine a spotlight on the incredible OT team here at Comprehensive Therapy Center! 🧡

A child's work is play — and our occupational therapists are experts at meeting kids exactly where they are to help them thrive. For neurodivergent kiddos and children with developmental disabilities, pediatric OTs can make a world of difference by:

🌟 Building fine and gross motor skills so kids can hold a crayon, climb a playground, or button their own jacket
🌟 Supporting sensory processing so the world feels less overwhelming and more manageable
🌟 Developing self-care skills like dressing, feeding, and daily routines that build confidence and independence
🌟 Improving attention, emotional regulation, and body awareness so children can show up fully — at school, at home, and at play

The impact is real: children gain independence, families feel empowered, and kids discover what they're truly capable of when they have the right support.

Please help us celebrate the amazing humans who bring this work to life every single day:

💛 Teresa Bosley, M.S., OTR/L, Department Lead
💛 Eva Anderson, COTA/L, Programs Director
💛 Sonya Batt, OTR/L
💛 Megan Hofman, M.S., OTR/L
💛 Ashley Watson, M.S., OTR/L, Clinic Lead
💛 Isabelle Wolf, M.S., OTR/L

We are so grateful for YOU. 🧡

Today is National Doctor’s Day, and we are incredibly proud to celebrate our Volunteer Medical Director, Dr. Connor Kriz! 🩺✨

While many in our community know him for his dedicated care at Alger Pediatrics we get to see his passion for health equity and innovation firsthand here at CTC.

Dr. Kriz doesn’t just treat symptoms; he champions the "whole child." By bridging the gap between clinical pediatrics and therapeutic intervention, he ensures that every child in Grand Rapids has a path toward a healthier future.

Thank you, Dr. Kriz, for your service and leadership! We are so grateful for your guidance.

"I love camp, and I love you." 💛

If you need a reason to smile today, meet Leo. 🌟

At our recent Legacy Dinner, we shared a glimpse into Leo’s journey at our Therapy & Fun summer program. Leo, who uses a feeding tube, built such a deep bond of trust with his therapist that he felt safe enough to let her help him with something incredibly personal.

But the impact didn't stop with Leo.

While Leo was safe, supported, and thriving at camp, his mom Amanda, received something every "special needs" parent desperately needs: respite. For the first time in a long time, Amanda had much-needed alone time with her daughter. She didn't have to "split herself in two." She could just be present. 💜

When you support CTC, you aren't just funding a therapy session. You are giving a mother the chance to breathe. You are giving a sister one-on-one time with her mom. You are supporting an entire family.

📍 Comprehensive Therapy Center: Helping West Michigan families walk, talk, learn, and play since 1982. 🧡 💚 💜 💙

How you can help:
1️⃣ Share this post to spread Leo’s joy!
2️⃣ Tag a friend who needs to hear some good news today.
3️⃣ Visit https://givebutter.com/support-comprehensive-therapy-center to support our upcoming "Spring Staycation" and summer programs.
